How many types have we had in history?
‘Disease is the term used World Health Organization (WHO) to raise the possibility of a serious international epidemic caused by a pathogen not currently known to cause disease in humans.
This means that this unidentified disease what could it mean threat for global health. In this sense, WHO predicts that it will be 20 times more deadly than Covid 19.. All this will be discussed today, on the 17th, at the World Economic Forum 2024, which will be held in Davos, Switzerland.
To solve part of the mystery, Doctor. Natalia RodriguezDoctor of the International Travel Care Service at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona and researcher at ISGlobal, a center supported by the La Caixa Foundation, spoke to the portal EFSalud and clarifies: “We know that a new pandemic may arise, as happened with Zika and we know that there are many new diseases spreading around the world, but it is very difficult to create a model that predicts what the specific pathogen that could cause a pandemic will be.”
“Diseases X” throughout history
This is not the first time WHO has mentioned the name ‘Disease name a little-known disease that generally reacts in the same way: it is usually transmitted from animal to person, and symptoms can cause respiratory problems in infected people. Given the obvious gravity of the situation, WHO technical experts urgently need to find measures Preparatory measures of the health system in the face of the possible emergence of new pandemics.
They claim that this new “Disease” zoonosis Asian region, according to some forecast models.” zoonosis caused by HIV and from Ebola and the researcher assures that “one could say that AIDS was first a disease
In fact, the researcher believes that this could be the case: “Initially it was not known what it was or where it came from – after all, any disease that arose could be such – and has become a global pandemic and with a general characteristic, which is that when Transmitted from person to personWe have a safety feature to make it difficult to control.”
In this sense, WHO has list of “Diseases” For example, the researcher cites Middle East coronaviruswhich appeared in 2012 in Saudi Arabia “and which indeed continues to be endemic.”
Three years later, in 2015, it caused ” mini-epidemic in Koreaso I think it’s only fitting that he’s on the list too.”
In his view, the relationship with WHO reinforces the idea that “All health workers must remember that a pandemic caused by any of these diseases can occur” and that the hardest hit regions will be those with the most weakened health systems, such as the case Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea.
